Sounds like cgminer 2.4 is not a good idea. It will just disable the pool after a number of rejected shares. The --no-pool-disable option even sounds worse.

He just said he's been having trouble with the pool and the pool's been rejecting all the work. cgminer is doing the right thing and disconnecting you from a pool that's misbehaving. Why do you think this behaviour is bad? Would you prefer it to spend a day submitting nothing but rejects till you noticed it yourself?

edit: the --no-pool-disable option just disables this feature if you'd rather submit rejects indefinitely

It's bad if it never reconnects you to the pool... I've never had the older version stuck on a pool that was not working...

Work in progress. Probably the next version I'll find a way to keep testing and eventually reconnect. If you don't like it, that's why I added the option to disable that feature.

Should probably add some sort of timer for disabled pools that users can set to their desired expiry before retrying a broken pool.

I think I solved the bigger issues so if you temporarily pointed your miners elsewhere you can connect back now. The current connected miners have been running stable but its been about 70% of the previous load thus having rest of miners connecting back as primary pool would be more convincing. When I finally have 100% confirmation that all the issues is resolved I will try to add some extra value to compensate all miners who stuck through all this testing/off/on situations.

It's not even been an hour so it's a little early to tell, but the one miner I reset to flush the stats on this morning is reporting 756 shares accepted, 1 rejected.

Yup need to be sensible about this so even though it looks much more stable now it will still need to run atleast a day before any real results would matter

Too busy anyway to clear out a nice space for the BFL I'm winning in Gigavps raffle tonight !!!

hehe ye I know the feeling of "jinxing" , in the meantime its running pretty well however until Im confident that everything is tip-top I will just have to block IP's whenever I notice any leaking, its the best temporary fix in case something still breaks.

Im away right now until later tonight, I will send both payments for the week tomorrow(sunday) then within the new payment cycle onwards I will do better at sticking to payment timeframes. The pool issues just messed around alot with my available time but seeing as that is somewhat better now from what I can see, I will try improve on the rest of things ie. payments being top priority.

Seems alot of users who upgraded to cgminer 2.4 either havnt restarted their miners recently or havnt entered --no-pool-disable thus bonuspool is permanently disable now until you restart cgminer. Pool is much stabler now so should be safe to pop back on.

Ive increased PPS to 108% for the duration of this week, 6 May 00:00:00 - 12 May 23:59:59 , this is temporary to compensate for the extra 2-3% stales generated this week and also in case of any undesired results for the new payment period, the rate will drop back to 105% on 13 May 00:00:00 but if possible I will keep the rate at 108%.

Hey Clipse, for some reason CGMiner keeps disabling your pool. I don't know exactly what's causing it as I don't constantly watch my miners but when I check on them I'm mining on my backup pool and bonuspool is alive but disabled. I re-enable it but it will go disabled again. Any idea what could be causing this?

You need to run with --no-pool-disable , the latest auto disable a "faulty" pool and considering I am still tweaking occasionally which would kill the pool for a few minutes, cgminer thinks the pool is "bad" and disable it permanently.
